A device and a method for processing malware in a mobile terminal are provided to reduce battery consumption largely by minimizing CPU, memory, and communication overhead without degrading malware detection performance. A first detector(12) detects information suspected as malware by analyzing the information inputted to a mobile terminal. A second detector(14) verifies whether the detected suspected information is the malware or not by receiving the information needed for verifying the malware from a central processing center connected with the mobile terminal through the wired/wireless network. A display unit displays a detection result of the first detector and/or a verification result of the second detector. The central processing unit includes a database storing the information needed for verifying the malware and a processor. The processor receiving the information suspected as the malware from the mobile terminal, extracts the information needed for verification for determining whether or not the received suspected information corresponds to the malware by referring to the database, and transmits the extracted information to the mobile terminal. |
